Cyclic amine-multibranched poly(lactic acid) (mPLA) was prepared as a dual antioxidant and antimicrobial toward PLA active packaging for food shelf-life extension in a case study of bread. The mPLA was coupled with piperidine (PPR) containing a heterocyclic amine derivative, which is a nature-rich bioactive function. The functions of mPLA-PPR enhancing the PLA film performance were studied in comparison with PPR, mPLA and Tinuvin® 770.

Immune profile diversity is achieved with synthetic TLR4 agonists combined with the RG1-VLP vaccine in mice.

January 2025

Cancer ImmunoPrevention Laboratory, Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research, Frederick, MD, USA. Electronic address:

The TLR4 (Toll-like receptor 4)-activating agonist MPLA (monophosphoryl lipid A) is a key component of the adjuvant systems AS01 and AS04, utilized in marketed preventive vaccines for several infectious pathogens. As MPLA is a biologically-derived product containing a mixture of several lipid A congeners with a 4' phosphoryl group and varying numbers of acyl chains with distinct activities, extensive efforts to refine its production and immunogenicity are ongoing; notably, the development of the BECC (Bacterial Enzymatic Combinatorial Chemistry) system in which bacteria express lipid A-modifying enzymes to produce a panoply of lipid A congeners. In an effort to characterize the adjuvant activity of these lipid A congeners, we compared biologically-derived and synthetic versions of BECC470 and BECC438 for adjuvant activity in BALB/c mice vaccinated with the HPV (Human papilloma virus) VLP-based vaccine, RG1-VLP.

This work of fiction depicts a scenario in which a faculty member felt they were criticized unfairly and inappropriately for honesty on a faculty survey, which reflected poorly on administration. The faculty member was left struggling with how to respond to conflicting feelings and perception of misaligned goals and mission. Simultaneously, the department chair felt they were blindsided by issues that could have been addressed without the embarrassment of a poor survey.

The evolving landscape of clinical genetics is becoming increasingly relevant in the field of nephrology. HNF1B-associated renal disease presents with a diverse array of renal and extrarenal manifestations, prominently featuring cystic kidney disease and diabetes mellitus. For the genetic analyses, whole exome sequencing (WES) and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) were performed.

Disorders of sexual development (DSDs) encompass a group of congenital conditions associated with atypical development of internal and external genital structures. Among those with DSDs are 46,XX males, whose condition mainly arises due to the translocation of onto an X chromosome or an autosome. In the few -negative 46,XX males, overexpression of other pro-testis genes or failure of pro-ovarian/anti-testis genes may be involved, even if a non-negligible number of cases remain unexplained.
